Um, Lari, do you mean the back of the thigh?  What you say is true of the
back of the thigh (although it is still easier to use the chest, per
Susan's post), but the gaskin is the bulgy little muscle on the side of
the hind leg, below the stifle and above and in front of the hock.  If you
injected the "back" of that, you'd be right in the Achilles tendon...
